I got a really great deal on some Simply Shabby Chic bedding that was marked on clearance at Target a while back. I wanted some curtains that would pick up the taupe color for fall and winter but I couldn't find anything that was the right color. Then I remembered the drop cloth drapes that were all the rage a while ago. I brought them home and I think the color is as close as I'm going to get. I also like the small bit of texture they have to them.
I'm hoping to do a little more than just hang them as-is. Now all I need is a bit of time to squeeze this project into my busy schedule.
Have a good weekend!
Melanie, I have the same comforter, from Target right? I have been thinking about drop cloth drapes alot lately. I can't wait to see what you do with them? They look good against the comforter. Good luck in you endeavor. Marla
ReplyDeleteThe color looks perfect. Can't wait to see the drapes. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteOooh! I can't wait to see what you do, Melanie! I have been walking by those same drop cloths at HD just thining...do they not scream "use me as drapery panels"? And...they are hemmed all the way around! I have used them in making a slip cover and didn't have to hem the ruffle! Hope you are havng a great weekend!...hugs...Debbie

ReplyDeleteOh I love that comforter and I definately agree that the drop cloth material is perfect against it! Can't wait to see your final project:)
ReplyDeleteThis morning, I promised myself I wouldn't take time to comment on any blogs, but I have to say, this is an IDEA! I can't wait to see how they look.

I LOVE that comforter. I can't believe that I missed it on clearance. The drop cloth curtains will look perfect with it.
ReplyDeleteI just washed my drop cloth curtains for the second time. They shrunk about 2 inches in lengths. I recommend washing the drop cloths in hot water a couple times before you make them. I washed mine in warm and barely dried them in the dryer because they wrinkle something fierce. I hung them up while they were fairly damp and they don't touch the floor anymore.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with yours.
I have the same bedding and now I know what curtains I can make to go with them...Thank you for the idea. I am in the process of redoing the entire bedroom so these curtains will be great for now.
